World’s 1st Battery-Electric Brush Mower!

DR leads the way with the electrification of rough area mowers. Following the trend of the car and pickup truck industry, DR is pleased to be the first brand to offer a Battery-Electric Field and Brush Mower.

The FB26E is fully powered for rough area mowing, with the ability to take down thick, 4-foot-high field grass or brush and saplings up to two inches in diameter.

And it uses the same proven transmission as our gas models to ensure reliable performance and durability.

Features May Incude:

Battery Pack and Charger

• 2.5 kWh, 48V battery pack charges in 2.5 hours. External charge and error indicator. Battery is compatible with DR ZT5E Zero-Turn Mower and future products. (Battery and Charger Sold Separately)

Brushless Motor

• 7.3 kWh, 48V motor delivers exceptional power.

Spare Battery Caddy

• Allows you to transport an extra battery to your jobsite to enable longer work sessions (up to 3 hours between two batteries). Note: battery should be removed for mowing.

Battery Housing

• Battery hood with handle latches magnetically—no tools required for access.

Power Steering is Easy on You!

• Our disc brake system provides Power Steering. Each wheel is equipped with its own brake, operated by a hand lever. Just squeeze the brake on one side, and the mower will pivot easily around that wheel. You're in control...without wrestling the machine!

26" Pivoting Deck

• The 26" deck is wide enough for effective clearing but is still very maneuverable. Unlike rigid, fixed decks found on some mowers, the DR deck pivots from side to side, allowing it to follow the contours of rough terrain. This feature minimizes scalping and improves traction.

Adjustable Handlebars

• A comfortable working height is important, especially when traversing rough terrain.

Ergonomic Controls

• Both on the control panel and on the grips, all DR Field and Brush Mowers controls are designed to optimize operator comfort and minimize hand fatigue. Everything you need is right at your fingertips, so there is no walking around the mower to make adjustments.

Assembled in the USA

• Assembled in the USA using foreign and domestic parts. Ships direct from our Wisconsin factory.

Custom-Made Blade Spindle

• Made of 1.375" thick cast iron with oversized double sealed bearings, the blade spindle is integrated into the deck housing and reinforced for vibration-free performance. Designed to provide years of maintenance-free use (and abuse!).

Big, Lugged Tires for Sure Traction

• No other brush mower has tires like this. They're the biggest (18" x 6.5" x 8"), they have superior lugged treads that pull the mower through or over just about anything, and they are sealant filled...which means they're highly resistant to puncture. Tough as nails, apparently!

Gear-Driven Transmission: Lock it in and Rip it up!

• Unlike hydrostatic drives, the DR's geared transmission lets you lock in your ground speed, leaving your hands free to steer the machine across uneven terrain (instead of fussing with touchy throttle controls as you go). With 3 forward gears, you can choose a fixed pace that's right for you.
